  • Produce accurate minute‑taking for meetings, briefings, partnership discussions, and operational reviews
  • Verify, reconcile, and audit data including tonnage records, financial information, and contract performance metrics
  • Process, verify, and support invoicing activities, including checking contractor invoices, reconciling data, preparing payment recommendations, and ensuring financial accuracy
  • Prepare structured reports, summaries, and updates for managers, partners, and stakeholders
  • Ensure all records meet governance, confidentiality, and data‑protection standards
  • Support the management of contract budgets, expenditure tracking, and financial documentation
  • Assist with monitoring compliance with waste legislation and council protocols

Operational & Community Support

  • Provide day‑to‑day administrative support to the Community Visitor Centre
  • Manage bookings, scheduling, visitor coordination, and enquiry handling
  • Support school education visits, liaising with educational officers and community partners
  • Maintain communication logs, visitor records, and engagement tracking
  • Assist peers and management with operational tasks, planning, and coordination
  • Uphold safeguarding standards (DBS required)

Stakeholder & Council Interaction

  • Liaise with council partners, contractors, educational officers, and community groups
  • Provide clear, professional communication on behalf of the team
  • Support partnership meetings, including preparation of agendas, papers, minutes, and follow‑up actions
  • Represent the service professionally when interacting with the public, schools, and external organisations

About You
We are looking for someone with exceptional administrative capability, ideally with experience in a council or public‑sector environment.

You will bring:

  • Strong administrative background with proven organisational ability
  • Excellent minute‑taking and documentation skills
  • Confidence managing complex data, spreadsheets, reporting, and invoicing processes
  • Experience in a council, regulated, or public‑sector setting (highly beneficial)
  • Knowledge of waste legislation or environmental services (advantageous)
  • Ability to work independently, prioritise tasks, and manage deadlines
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage with the public, schools, and stakeholders
  • Professionalism, reliability, and a proactive approach
  • Comfort working in a hybrid role (minimum 2 days on site)
  • Flexibility with working hours (ideal shift: 08:00–16:00)

Benefits

  • Hybrid working
  • Free on‑site parking
